  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSSBR044 - No authorization to read authorizations of user &1 ?

    The SAP error message RSSBR044 indicates that a user is attempting to read the authorizations of another user but does not have the necessary permissions to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to protect sensitive information.

    Cause:

    The error occurs because:

    1. The user executing the transaction does not have the required authorization object to view the authorizations of the specified user.
    2. The authorization object S_USER_AUTH is not assigned to the user, or the user lacks the necessary authorizations within that object.
    3. The user may be trying to access a user profile or authorization data that is restricted due to security policies.

    Solution:

    To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Verify the authorizations of the user who is trying to read the authorizations. You can do this by using transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorizations are missing.
    2. Assign Necessary Authorizations:

      • If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you will need to assign the appropriate roles or profiles that include the S_USER_AUTH authorization object with the necessary activity (usually 03 for display).
      • This can be done by a user with the appropriate administrative rights (e.g., a security administrator).
    3. Use Transaction SU01:

      • If you have the necessary permissions, you can go to transaction SU01 to modify the user’s roles and add the required authorizations.
    4. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
    5. Review Security Policies:

      • Ensure that the security policies in place allow for the necessary access to user authorizations, especially if this is a recurring issue.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Understanding SAP authorization objects is crucial. The S_USER_AUTH object is specifically used for authorizations related to user management.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU53: Display authorization check.
      • SU01: User maintenance.
      • PFCG: Role maintenance.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to authorization issues.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation on user authorizations and security best practices to ensure compliance with your organization’s policies.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSSBR044 error and gain the necessary access to read user authorizations.
